In the Bleachers

In the Bleachers is a comic that comments on, and lampoons, sports. It was created in 1985 by American cartoonist/filmmaker Steve Moore and is syndicated internationally by Universal Press Syndicate.[1]

The single-panel cartoon appears in about 200 newspapers worldwide, including the Washington Post.[2] Moore got the idea for "In the Bleachers" while working as sports editor at the Maui News. The comic was launched in 1985 [3], shortly after Moore was hired as an editor at the Los Angeles Times. "In the Bleachers" has been published in 6 book collections, including "The Best of In the Bleachers" by Warner Books.

In 2006, Sony Pictures Animation released the movie Open Season based on "In the Bleachers" hunting-related cartoons. Moore was Executive Producer, along with partner and producer John Carls. The movie grossed nearly $200 million worldwide. There were also sequels called Open Season 2, Open Season 3 and Open Season: Scared Silly.

On November 4, 2002, 15-second animated shorts by Ed Wexler and Gary Katona of Walt Disney Television Animation began airing on ESPN. Voices included April Winchell, Kevin Michael Richardson and Jeff Bennett.[4] [5]
